What generation is 1999?

Someone born in 1999 falls into Generation Z (Gen Z), which is typically defined as people born between 1997 and 2013. However, 1999 is very close to the cutoff between Millennials (born roughly 1981-1996) and Gen Z, so some individuals born in this year might feel they relate to aspects of both generations.

It all comes down to cultural influences—if you grew up with early social media, smartphones, and a digital-first lifestyle, you likely lean Gen Z. But if you remember dial-up internet, flip phones, and a world before constant connectivity, you might relate more to Millennials.
